Contrary to all the expectations of the pessimists and the croaking of the gloomy prophets, there is a scramble for enough merchandise to sell to the wijmen on this continentyat this mo­ ment They have money; they want new clothes; Paris has sent alluring Costumery quite in keeping with our spirit of war-time dressing; the shops are crowded, and the bulk of the buy­ ing has gone to the people who offer clothes that are not eccentric or over­ priced. When fashions are slack, women have time to read about them In de­ tail when they are being rushed across the stage; but now, as in an exciting movie, there is no time for comment or philosophy, for theory or observa­ tion. "News t Give us news!" is what the people cry who want to go out to­ morrow morning and buy. This is no lime, therefore, to dwell Upon one subject and embroider it a Fashions Offered l STORING VEGETABLES IN BANKS OR PITS \ Tin material used in this evening gown is supple satin in pink and mauve orchid tones. The bodice is cut In irregular points over hips, and there la a watteau train dropped from the shoulders. The short sleeves are fin­ ished with chinchilla. , bit in an attempt to catch a woman's fancy. There is so mnch to say that there Is not half enough space In which to say It. A colossal cornucopia of fashions has been shaken out over tht» heads of kronen, and one is catchljg as one can catch here and there. So much 1ST changed, so much that lit new is offered, so vast a variety of stimulating and enlivening fashions have fallen from the skies, as it were, that women, ever alert for interesting clothes at this season of the year, are asking a thousand questions and adding more before these are answered. Under this stimulus, the one wfco reports fashions must try to meet ths situation by turning out the news in that old, old form of Journalistic ex­ pression known as the reporter's note­ book.- After a while, affairs will sim­ mer down. They will establish them­ selves on a sound basis and probably remain on that foundation until next February. However, there Is no hope for calm at .this moment and therefore, I poor out all the news of the hour to paragraphs. They cover the situa­ tion as far as it goes. High Collars in Blouata.* - The strongest evidence that women will wear high collars in the winter. Is that they are appearing in the cheap, ready-to-wear blouses. Some of these are boned and fit the neck. Others have a ruffle at the top of the high edge. Neither style Is as attractive as the one that flares at the top in the French fashion and envelopes the flesh at the top of the neck instead of pushiiig It nP* The strong desire shown by the great designers Is to follow the lines of the figure In all gowns. ,Thls eliminates petticoats in a large measure. When they are worn, they must be exceed­ ingly slim and of soft material. The tendency toward the directoire gown is more marked as the autumn ad­ vances, especially as regards colorful waistcoats that fit the figure. Kolinsky will hold Its place as the leader of peltry this season. It will be lavishly used for trimming street suits. , Hudson seal ranks high. Its •oft and pliable skin allows it to fit VELVET FABRICS OF FASHION in with " the clinging drapery Of th® year. Manufacturers say there is ft strong demand for fine grades of Hud­ son seal, especially for coats. Straight boxcoats that flare slightly at tl»« hem, will be fashionable*. " Jetf in every form, will be acceptable thlp year. The reopening of the old mines in England, which were once worked by the monks, has given 'ft strong impetus to the trade in black crystal, sequins will not he used. The surface will be facetted and highly pol­ ished. Entire gowns of jet in superb- design, mounted on black tulle; will be offered as the first fashion for eve­ ning, although they are very expensive. . Jet buttons will be put on gowns of serge, satin, velour and velvet. Belts of jet will be used on one-plefce frocks for .the afternoon. The cadet sash of the hour, which is used on short coats as well as frocks will be weighted with thick Jest tassels. In more ways than anyone could think were possible, gray Is mixed with other colors. It Is especially effective when placed with subtle shades Of blue. Violet, heliotrope, salmon, watermelon pink and flame red are some of the colors which are put with gray gowns to be worn for all hours of the day and evening. Gray one-piece frocks fot the street, offbred ds a substitute for tailored suits, have fitted, medieval corselets fnnde of braid. Carelesti cravats on the most formal suits, gain in importance. This kind of neckwear started in Paris last May, but the American dressmaker, did not take it seriously until the new autumn models arrived. These cravats are made of the cloth of the suit, lined with a fanciful fabric, or they embody a brilliant color scheme, which has many advantages in that it brightens the suit and often makes it More becoming to the wearer. So far, Jhe high, stiff, military coat collar has not appeared, but every other kind of collar that mounts to the chin has been employed to supply the demand lor high neckwear. The trench muffler is delighted In by many women, whether it is made of fur or cloth. It almost disguises the face, it envelopes so much of the lower part of it. Ostrich plnmes are slowly coming back Into fashion. Paris provided them for the great middle class of women who suddenly became well-to-do through high salaries, 'these women beJieve that sealskin coats, diamond solitaires and ostrich feathers are still the symbols of wealth. What was true of Franee quickly be­ came true of England. Although plumes are selling there today at $90 and $100 apiece, because of reduction in supply, there are buyers aplenty for them. It Is expected that the in­ dustrial condition of America will be the same as that which has prevailed in England and France during the lat­ ter part of the war, and that the women, who are the real spenders of a nation, will buy clothes more lavish­ ly and recklessly than they have for a century. The reason for this is that they are taking the places of men and getting money to spend without asking men for It. As for the ostrich feather in Amer­ ica, It is slowly making Its appearance, but It is sponsored by so many good houses that no doubt it will appear rt " a Ground Level J>rom Straw >*•' s STORAGE WT CONTAINING IRISH POTATOES. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment ot Agriculture.) Outdoor banks or pits are used very generally for keeping vegetables. The conical pit is used commonly for such vegetables as potatoes, carrots, beets, tu'rnipl^ salsify, parsnips, and heads of cabbage and Is constructed as follows: A well-drained location should be chosen and the product piled on the surface of the ground I or a shallow excavation may be made of suitable • , lERMIT SCULPTOR IS FOUND Pit Containing Sweet Potatoes. size and six or eight inches deep, which may be lined with straw, leaves, or similar material and the vegetables placed on the Utter in a conical pile. The vegetables shoilld then be cov­ ered with straw or similar material and finally with earth to a depth of two or three inches. As winter ap­ proaches, "the dirt covering should be Increased until It Is several SWARM CONTROL BIG FACTOR Swarming Is Nbt Desired by Beekeep­ er Who Is Keeping Bees for Production of Honey. Stvarm control is an Important fac­ tor In beekeeping, asserts Dr. J. H. Merrill, assistant professor of ento­ mology in the Kansas State Agricul­ tural college. "The standard of successful bee­ keeping was formerly set by the num­ ber of swarms that Issued during the year," said Doctor Merrill. "Now, however, it is known that one colony will produce more honey than will a colony which by swarming has been separated into two. or possibly more. Thus, while swarming may be the natural way for increasing the num­ ber of bees, it is not desl-ed by the beekeeper who U keeping bees to pro­ duce honey. "The exact cause for swarming Is nut known, although there are several cor.dltions which are known to stimu­ late it. .-If-these conditions are reme­ died, a largo proiiortlon of swarming will be controlled." inches thick. The depth of the eart covering is determined >by the sever­ ity of the, waiters in the particular l<f cality. It is well to cover the pits with str^w,. corn fodcl«r, or manure during severely cold weather. The amount of ventilation necessary will depend upon the size of the, pit. SiiiaH pits containing but a few bush­ els of vegetables will receive suffi­ cient ventilation if the straw between the vegetables ami dirt is allowed to extend through the dirt at the apex of the pile. This should be covered with a hoard or piece of tin held In place by a stone to protect It from rain. in large pits ventllrition may be secured l>v placing t vo or three pieces of rough boards cr stakes up through the center of the pile of vege­ tables so that a flue is formed. This tine is capped by a trough formed of two pieces of board nailed together at right angles. • Vegetables keep very well in such pils. but It Is difficult to get them out In cold weather, so that when a pit opened ft is desirable to remove its entire contents at once. For this rea­ son it is advisable to construct sev­ eral small pits rather than one larger une, and instead of storing each cfop in a pit by itself, it is better to place a small quantity of several kinds of vegetables in the same pit, so that It will be necessary to open only one bank to get a supply of all of them. In storing several crops In the same bank it Is a good plan to separate them with straw, leaves, or other ma­ terial. The vegetables from the small pit may be placed temporarily In the storage room in the basement, where they will be easily accessible as need­ ed for the table. INCREASE IN GRAIN YIELDS ipendo Time Modeling Little Master- (feces Which He Promptly De> v ••' u >»troye Upon Completion. ? There has been discovered at Cape >cott, one of the most solitary points n Vancouver Island, by the chief en­ gineer or the public works department Df British Columbia, a sculptor who spends his time in modeling little mas­ terpieces from lumps of clay and then destroying them, relates an exchange, He is A. F. Whittier, and he calls himself a "prospector." Living entire­ ly alone, he has for the past two years been carrying out lonely Investigations of mineral claims In his neighborhood. His sculptor's tools are of the simplest kind, and it is his habit to work with the same piece of clay, which weighs scarcely five pounds, but with that he has modeled scores of objects. The government engineer found him Just as he had completed a bust of the martyred British nurse, Edith Cavell. Mr. Whittier was about to destroy the work In order that he might use the clay, for a miniature statue of his son, who was recently killed. He was, how ever, persuaded to part with the bust, which Is to be auctioned in aid of the Red Cross funds. Help to Save Nation's Foo Ih this time of high cost of living, ev­ erybody should use all possible means to prevent waste and to help save food. No one means can be more effective than a vigorous campaign to exterminate rats which destroy over two hundred million dollars worth of foodstuffs annually. Keep garbage In rat-proof cans, stop up their holes, and above all exterminate them with Stearns' Paste, which can be bought for a few cents at any store. A two ounce ho* will usually rid a house or bam of Svery rat.. It destroys mice, cockroaches and waterbura as well. Adv. VARIETIES OF SWEET CLOVER Finest Qualities Are Called Zephyr and l^lousaeline Because of Their Ex­ cessive Suppleness. Word comes from Paris that the finest qualities of velvet will be the fabrics of fashion for this winter. These velvets are called sephyr and mousseltne because of their excessive suppleness. They are described as "light as a breath." France is also designing many fancy velvets, espe­ cially in striped designs. There are aim? checked velvets for tailored euits. There are brocaded velvets for evening wraps. The famous design of sprawling Japanese trees on a heavy foundation of satin will be re- vlvcd* There will be a new kind of plush called grenadier, which is copied frojh the headgear worn hy the Old Imperial Guards of France.

Up­ standing ostrich plume .also In blue. on many hats when the cold weather comes. Hatter's plush Is strongly indorsed by the milliners for women's street hats. It will also be used for the brims of the large picture hats which have collapsible velvet crowns. Fortunately for the majority df women, the bell- shaped hat which was in fashion last summer, will be retained for the winter In this new material.

One side has a dull finish, the other has a glossy finish. One side may be flow­ ered and the other plain, or the same design may be used ou both sides, with the colors reversed. White Is Considered to Have Greatest Value ¥or Hay and Pasture- Plant Is More Leafy. (North Dakota Agricultural College Bul­ letin.) Two kinds of sweet clover are com­ monly grown. the white and the yellow. The white is considered to have the greatest value both for hay and pas­ ture. It grows larger than the yellow and is more leafy. The seed of the white sweet clover is of a bright olive green color and about the same size as alfalfa seed. The seed of the yellow sweet clover is much the same size, shape and color, except that under the microscope it has a mottled appear­ ance not unlike a turkey egg. At£umn Hata. Velvet and velours are the most used materials In the autumn hats. Panne velvet Is used, and the crowns are nearly all soft. The sides of the crown may be stiff, but the top is soft. Few of the hats are entirely without brims. There are small hats with nar­ row brims, of course, as well as me­ dium and larger shapes. Fashion for Gray Accepted. The reason for the influx of squirrel this season may be based on the fash- Ion for gray which France has em­ phasized and which America has ac­ cepted. Since the flrs^yeur of the war the women of Europe have, to a large extent, chosen gray Instead of colors, even though they were not In second mottralng, as the saying goes.

M'FARLANK, Oklahoma Experi­ ment Station.) Just after harvesting the small grains there Is generally a lull In the farm operations. Then is the time for the farmer to prepare ror tne nexi year. Disking up the stubble as soon as possible after harvesting has been found by experiment ami common ex­ perience to be profitable. It prepares the soli to absorb and retain a maxi­ mum amount of moisture and also kills many weeds. Just ns soon as suffi­ cient moisture is In ill* soil the farm­ er should plow the land at least six to seven Inches deep. Both the Oklahoma and the Kansas stations have found early and deep plowing give prolitfihie increases in yield. The Oklahoma experiment sta­ tion found as an average of five years with Fulcaster wheat, seeded Septem­ ber 15 to October 1, the following re­ sults : Plowed 7 inches deep, July IB, yield --27.1 bu. Plowed 7 Inches deep. August 16. yield 24.2 bu. Plowed 7 Inches deep, September 15, yield 22.0 tou. WHEN VEGETABLES ARE HIGH 8urplus Truck in Home Gardens Comes in Handy Later on If Canned and Preserved. Surplus fruits, beans, tomatoes and other vegetables produced in home gar­ dens are allowed to spoil on the vines or rot on the ground. A morning's work would can and preserve such surplusage for use when fruits and vegetables are scarce and high in price. PROFITS IN SHEEP KEEPING Mo Other Animal Can Thrive on Sueh Short Pasturage--Manure Is Most Valuable on Farm. Sheep keeping should be encour­ aged. No other animal can thrive on such short pasturage as the sheep. Sheep manure Is the most valuable of all. On almost every farm there is a brushy field on which sheep could browse eight months of the year. BETTER QUALITY OF SILAGE Kafir Corn and Sorghum Can Be Uaed With Good Results--Stage of Cut­ ting Is Important. , Corn Is recognized as the best crp for silage but for conditions where kaflr corn or sorghum Is better suit­ ed these crops can be used with good results. In quality of silage, kaflr, followed by sorghum, ranks next to corn, according to C. H. Eckles of the University of Missouri college of ag­ riculture. The yield of silage by these crops is usually equal to, or greater than, that from corn. The stage of cutting sorghum and kafir for silage Is of special Importance in mnking good silage. These crops should be practically mature, that Is the seed should be hard. If they are cut too early the silage is quite sour. If the crops should get frosted before they are cut they should be cut at once and put into the silo. If they become too dry before cutting sufficient wa­ ter must he added so that the silage packs well. ERADICATE ALL LATE WEEDS Few Cockleburrs or Other NOXIOJ* Plants Left at Last Will Cause Trouble Next Yew Weeds that are left in the cofn ar« the ones that do the damage. A few cockleburrs or other weeds left at th« last will grow up and. by going to seed scatter over the whole field. This wil1 make matters next year just as bac as before. Every effort to get out tht late weeds from the corn ought to b< made, even if it is necessary to use thf hoe on the worst spots In the field. MUCH MILK SPOILS QUICKLY Reason Is That It Is Kept Uncovered In Warm Kitchens--Keep Co*- ered in Cool Place. Much milk spoils quickly because It Is kept uncovered in warm kitchens. Close observance of the doctrine, "Keep perishable food, especially milk, cool, clean and covered continuously," maj make a striking difference In the tvoi bills of maoy families. Some Satisfaction.
